Sonoco Introduces New Process for Metallic Finish

Sonoco’s MIRRORINK Process uses a proprietary metallic pigment made from real metal flakes that produce a mirror-like sheen when properly aligned. By registering the metalized ink only where necessary, this new process eliminates the waste stream of highly corrosive elements resulting from traditional de-metallization methods. The MIRRORINK Process also reduces water and energy consumption, making it more environmentally friendly. By skipping the time-consuming de-metallization process, products also are delivered to market more quickly.
